Woo.. I like today. Went for the Medan trip meeting at Parkmall and met up with the rest of the Jamiya people. They are frm the children's home and are ard our age. So it wasn't really hard to communicate, just a little "barriered" at first. It was really interesting working with them cos it was my first encounter with such people. We played a few icebreaker games and they were very fun people actually. Looking forward to knowing them more. Bro jeff told me to be more sensitive towards them as they are not as fortunate as us. One thing I admire about them is that most of them can easily smile. One can't tell they're from a home. Well, maybe behind those smiles hide stories only they know. I'm in the welfare commitee (seems like i spelt wrongly again?) with 2 Jamiya girls. We are in charge of dealing with food, the do's and don's and a small useful language book. As there are alot of Muslims with us, we have to respect their way of doing things and have to observe some rules also. This makes me kind of self-conscious, fearing what I'm accustomed to doing may upset them. Well, this is just the beginning, there are even more rules over at Medan. but i think it'll be a very gd experience for me. Oh i am so looking forward to that. Hehe..
Oh ya and probably I'll be gg to thailand for a short trip too! Hehe.. with bro jeff and jason! At the moment both of them la. Cos Bro jeff fa da, so bring both of us there. hehehe.. so fun also! YEA~ 3 of us went for shopping and dinner after GP tuition hehe.. normally i'd feel awkward being with guys as in being the only girl with guys.. (which seldom/never happens la) but with them it's okie la. Just that sometimes guys and girls really can't flow. Then what to do? Don't flow lor.. Flow in my own peaceful river. haha.. But they are nice people la. =)
I was so happy when i got home! my father handed me a letter and it's from poetry.com!! But i was quite mad at him for scribbling some hp numbers at the back of the envelope. U may think i'm petty, but well, that mean quite a lot to me and though it's just an envelope but it is sth special to me. Well, the story goes like this, i happened to chanced upon this websitefew mths ago and saw that they were having a poetry competition. As i was feeling kind of bored, i "playfully" submitted one of my poems. Never did i know, that that poem would be selected for publishing and will enter the final competition! PTL. I feel really happy as this is an international thing. But also quite upset at the same time becos the book costs US$49.90. This is a sad case. but nevertheless, i wanna thank all my very gd friends who are the inspiration for that poem. And btw, it's titled simply 'Friends' and are dedicated to all my gd friends. THANK YOU very much! =)
School later!! rested for 1 week plus, but i don miss school. I really mean it! I haven't ironed my U and haven't packed my bag. Worst thing, it's 2:45 now and i haven't slept.
PS: told you.. my brain's a unorganized lump. =P but there're so much things to talk about today.. and i haven't included my shopping with Jessie after the medan meeting! =( I didn't know where to fit in.. hehe.. But we had fun at carrefour. =P
